Youth & Family Programs

Stitch Prairie Style!

Frank Lloyd Wright wasn’t the only artist in the family! Maginel Wright Barney was a children’s illustrator and fiber artist, creating numerous “long-point” embroidery pieces throughout her life. Join the Trust’s Education Intern and Fiber Artist, Joey Drouin, for an afternoon of architecture and embroidery!

First, students will tour Wright’s Home and Studio, taking inspiration from his design ideas and architecture. Then participants will learn more about Maginel Wright Barney and see a live long-point demonstration. Finally, students will create an architecture-inspired long-point of their own!

This event is free but requires registration. Please use the Google Form link below to reserve your spot. There are 12 spots available for each session.

Please note: Students will be using embroidery materials, including needles.
